I found some strange things after I installed 8.0 If I check permissions for audio, they are like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 6 May 22 19:16 /dev/audio -> audio0 crw------- 1 lsarang audio 14, 4 Apr 14 07:06 /dev/audio0 Is this really correct? From how I understand things, this means that only lsarang (i.e. me) will be able to access audio.. any other user (via NIS) will not be able to access audio. incidently, lsarang is the only user I created.. but all others can login via NIS. Shouldn't the above be: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 6 May 22 19:16 /dev/audio -> audio0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 Apr 14 07:06 /dev/audio0 with all users in the group audio? Or better yet, all users in group "users" and "users" being part of audio. The default way of group management of LM8.0 is that it if I create a user lsarang, then another group lsarang will be created and the lsarang user belongs to lsarang group. This shouldn't happen IMHO. Instead any user created should be of the group users and users should be included in audio, floppy, cdrom etc so that any new user gets access to those things. Waitinf for some clarification on this! sarang
